    League of Gentlemen gone as well. Ironic that they pulled it for blackface even though the character is a supernatural demon whose skin is that colour and it was nothing to do with race rather than the transgender jokes which are a lot more dubious in retrospect.

    They'll have to be hidden behind the German and Swedish 'artistic' movies.

    Was that an ironic petition?

    I heard that @YTBFC is going to have to change his surname to something colour neutral next and the UK record books are going to be updated to remove all references to our hurdler a white caucasion male with the incredibly offensive name of Roger Black

    Thought the YT meant Young Trainee. ;)
    Oops sorry for being ageist.
    Loko will have to change his name. We know he’s mad but no excuse.
    When Gally crops up I automatically think of the gallows.
    My aka was based on looking like the pirate Captain Hook. Am I allowed given his obvious crimes.
    My surname begins Mc. Why does everyone assume I’m of Scottish decent. I’m offended. In General and Ian may put me right. Mac ( Scottish) Mc (Irish) and if any of you Fkrs start taking the Mick. ( pun) I will ask you to be banned from the board.
    I’m much happier alone. :)

    I can't believe Black was a white man.

    PS: Wonderful Life is still a good song.

    All about diluting the message. Boris tweeted (4th of thread) that he doesn't agree with any statues being taken down. Such a message adds to the distractions and dilution of the message.
    Statues and Fawlty Towers are now the headlines. Tomorrow it'll be Tommy Fuckwit and his chav mates drinking skol and chanting about Muslims, Churchill, Saint George and William the Conqueror.
